Beginning next Tuesday, Shvarts will be displaying her senior art project, a documentation of a nine-month process during which she artificially inseminated herself "as often as possible" while periodically taking abortifacient drugs to induce miscarriages. Her exhibition will feature video recordings of these forced miscarriages as well as preserved collections of the blood from the process.

This is devotional art, of a diabolical sort. Art is always associated with religious affirmations, rituals, and sacraments, since these are revelatory of being, and this, too, is art's vocation. Hence, what this project asserts is that Life is Death, Being is Nothingness, Will is Truth.

Many people are claiming to be shocked by this behavior, but there's no reason to be.

Such behavior is the logical end of the life-hating, lefty abortophiliac mindset that dominates our elite schools.

Ideas have consequences. Some ideas lead to truly human art. Some, like the ones this girl was fed, lead to young women giving themselves abortions in a bathtub. That's reality. What's to be shocked about?

"...Shvarts reiterated Thursday that she repeatedly use a needleless syringe to insert semen into herself. At the end of her menstrual cycle, she took abortifacient herbs to induce bleeding, she said. She said she does not know whether or not she was ever pregnant.

"'No one can say with 100-percent certainty that anything in the piece did or did not happen,' Shvarts said, 'because the nature of the piece is that it did not consist of certainties.'

"This afternoon, Shvarts showed the News footage from tapes she plans to play at the exhibit. The tapes depict Shvarts — sometimes naked, sometimes clothed — alone in a shower stall bleeding into a cup...

"...Shvarts said the goal of her exhibition was to spark conversation and debate about the relationship between art and the human body."

She is lying about the method used. I went to a feminist blog and they said it was nearly impossible for her to survive using an herbal method as often as she claimed. It is a form of Russian roulette, and with no medical consultation before, during, or after, it would have an exponentially higher chance of killing her compared to the embryo, assuming she told the truth about the attempts to get pregnant.
